Scarborough and the City of Stirling were among the first areas in metropolitan WA to trial e-scooters, bringing greater accessibility for both locals and visitors.
While most riders do the right thing, there are some who, through carelessness or disregard, put themselves and others at risk.
I’ve been liaising with the Minister’s office and have raised community concerns about pedestrian safety relating to eRideables.
There is currently an Inquiry into the safety, regulation, and penalties associated with the use of eRideables, and its scope has recently been extended to include e-bikes as well. I strongly encourage community members to have their say on this important issue.
